    Stuck Pressure Fermentation

    never done a decoction mash but I only ever pressure ferment at around 16psi, I recently had a stuck ferment when the temperature dropped to 6 degrees C, the yeast is under stress and needs higher temperature. my only solution was to put more yeast in plus additional nutrient and pushed up the...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    thanks @mper will have to do my homework on jtag as I haven't had issues with it on the 1.4 version, I haven't had the LED activated on any of the super minis I have programmed so far and version 1.4 worked with gpio6 and 7 but not on version 2 so somehow jtag must have been activated and...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    hi @mper does this mean that jtag is automatically enabled on the current version? I have been using gpio6 and 7 for my i2c comms as pin 8 is the blue led which I would like to work as it gives me an indication of the state of the system. I am still not sure where to find the pin definition for...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    hi @mperi have designed a pcb to take the ESP32C3 super mini form factor module (I am busy making it a shared project on pcbway), there are 2 problems, 1) I still need to get the blue led working looks like I may have to create a separate environment for this as the normal C3 has a multi colour...

    iSpindle Concentrators, Repeaters, Bridges, Hubs

    hi I have tried to make this device, I have tried to get it working a good number of times with my green tab 1.7 inch display on a nodemcu v3 without much success, I get the display with the two dummy ispindel devices cycling but there is no display on the web interface, it reports connection to...

    To scoop out hot break or leave it?

    I hate waste, always left with 3 litres in the bottom of my boiler, just throw it in a jug and strain through a very fine bag, nothing wasted and very little trub material in the fermenter

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    if this in response to my magnetic reset, it it's not a power on off switch but a way to reset the device and force it into configuration mode when it goes to sleep, a bit lighter than a glass reed switch but definitely a bit more complicated. just another option for anyone interested.

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I have managed to fit an ispindel inside a rapt pill housing, In south Africa the ispindel housing is difficult to get whilst the rapt pill is easy, I purchased 5 cherry Phillips v3.2 boards and reshaped them, just got enough off either side to fit them in the housing without damaging any tracks...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    this is my magnetic charging device, I considered it essential addition for the use of a rapt pill housing as they are difficult to open and close, wether it is useful or adaptable to a ispindel tube I don't know as I haven't got one to test. the rapt pill does have a magnetic charging unit of...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    here is my build for the magnetic reset, I used a drv5032FA which is push pull, a drv5032FC is open drain and more suitable if available but this worked for me with a schottky diode in series with the output to prevent loading the device with reset and wake-up. I mounted the device on a sop...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    hi @mper a build for the esp32 c3 would be of great help for me as I build my unit for this device. is the setup for the ispindel in the push settings? what format do I need for it? I have lots of experience in board and circuit design but networking is not a strong point for me.

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    I am busy building a couple of Ispindels one with a esp32 c3 super mini (waiting on pcbs) in a prototype at the moment, the other in an esp8266 d1 mini on a v3.2 cherry Phillips board which I managed to whittle down to fit in a rapt pill container, as they are tight to open and close I have also...

    How can I reduce the output of this heating belt?

    sorry they are 1Amp rectifiers so would only allow one half of the power through.

    How can I reduce the output of this heating belt?

    another option is to put a 1n4005 or 1n4007 in series with the belt wired into the plug will halve the power
